I have no interest in English football or the Spice Girls. I don't read tabloids or watch news on commercial television, yet I know this family intimately. I know the accents, the speech patterns, I know the fashion lapses, the hairdos and colours, I even know the kid. I have no interest in these people at all. All I know about them has been hammered into me by advertisements. Possibly I am out of order, and possibly I am attacking the wrong party, but I resent being treated that way, and they are the ones in the spotlight. (It is probably worth noting here that I am not familiar with any of the football achievements listed above.)
